Looking to plan a weekend getaway with friends? This week we’ll be sharing some destinations that are fun for getting some of your friends together for a vacation you won’t forget.
Hey fellas, need a break from the everyday grind? Then take a trip to Dublin with a few of your favorite lads to enjoy some pints of Guinness, swing some golf clubs, or wander around historic castles. Dublin is both the largest city and the capital of Ireland and offers a variety of activities that can keep you busy all day long.
Start the trip off by seeing one of the top international visitor attractions in Ireland, the Guinness Storehouse. This impressive building in the shape of a giant pint of Guinness has seven floors of beer, beer, and more beer. RealTravel blogger Angus had the chance to visit the store house last winter.
“Dave and I found ourselves getting rather giddy with excitement from the moment we were in range and the pace of the group quickened until we set foot in the vast modern building. We seemed to have timed our visit perfectly as there was not one person in line (a very different story to when we left around lunch time and the queue went around the block outside in the cold and wet!) The factory proved to be very educational and interesting and well worth the entrance fee. The highlight of the visit was sitting back in the Gravity bar seven stories high looking down over Dublin with a complimentary pint of Guinness in hand!”
If you still have not got your fill of beer, then mosey on into Temple Bar, an area on the south bank of the River Liffey known as Dublin’s cultural quarter. Its medieval street pattern with many narrow cobbled streets is often flowing with tourists during the day and brimming with lively party animals at night. Home to many different Irish cultural institutions, music venues, and pubs you will be sure to find something that catches your interest.
